FILM NOTES

Warner Bros. released Scooby-Doo in June 2002, bringing Hanna-Barbera's beloved animated mystery franchise to live-action for the first time. Directed by Raja Gosnell and produced alongside Village Roadshow Pictures, the film marked a significant cultural moment, translating decades of Saturday morning television into a theatrical release that drew audiences across generations. The promotional trailer circulated widely ahead of the summer opening, making trailer cells among the earliest physical artifacts from the production.

This cell captures Daphne Blake and Zarkos in their confrontation on Spooky Island, the film's central location. Daphne's signature purple outfit is clearly visible against the rocky outdoor backdrop as the two figures engage in combat, preserving a key action moment from the trailer on original 35mm film stock.
